GFOA - Alberta Chapter

The Alberta Chapter of the GFOA was formed back in 1979 with a main focus to coordinate an annual conference for the benefits of the province's municipal finance employees. We have gone from under 100 members to past 900 members during this time frame. We are especially proud of what our annual conferences have become today and the training opportunities which offer our members a wealth of information for networking and professional development in our vast province.

Alberta GFOA inspires and promotes excellence in municipal financial management by providing professional development and training, facilitating networking and peer relationships, and by providing guidance on emerging municipal accounting standards and financial issues, for the benefit of our members and their organizations. Alberta GFOA strives to be recognized and valued as the leading source of information and skill development resources for Alberta municipal finance leaders, managers and staff that enables them to position Alberta at the forefront of leadership in municipal finance and financial management.

We are looking forward to this year's annual conference June 4-7, 2017 at the Pomeroy Hotel and Conference Centre at Grande Prairie. We are very excited to offer, for the first time, a conference app. Attendees will have the ability to refer to the conference schedule, speakers and sessions, social networking events, various pertinent maps, and communicate with other conference attendees all on their devices.
